The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.

Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.

In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.

One company value investors might notice is Newmark Group (NMRK). NMRK is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 11.12 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 12.40. NMRK's Forward P/E has been as high as 12.04 and as low as 6.63, with a median of 9.56, all within the past year.

Value investors also use the P/S ratio. The P/S ratio is calculated as price divided by sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. NMRK has a P/S ratio of 0.82. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.8.

Finally, our model also underscores that NMRK has a P/CF ratio of 10.82. This metric focuses on a firm's operating cash flow and is often used to find stocks that are undervalued based on the strength of their cash outlook. NMRK's current P/CF looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/CF of 10.88. Within the past 12 months, NMRK's P/CF has been as high as 12.61 and as low as 4.80, with a median of 9.04.

These are just a handful of the figures considered in Newmark Group's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that NMRK is an impressive value stock right now.
